Here's an idea: if you intend to lock people into a technology so you can sue them later, would you a) build a small library that encourages modular code, has tons of escape hatches to use other libraries and has so few concepts it actually encourages learning the language and solving problems outside the library instead? Or b) build a large monolith that comes with dozens of idiosyncratic concepts and its own way to solve every problem so you build your entire application inside of it? If I was a patent troll, I would create Angular, not React. I don't trust Google, I don't trust Facebook, I don't trust Tilde, I don't trust Evan You. But at least with React I'm not deeply invested in non-transferable knowledge and have easy migration paths if I ever need to move away from it.
